2011 Fic, Vids, and Podfic

Dizzy by astartexx - Worksafe – Interesting result from a remix challenge, this vid takes a look at the Willow and Spike relationship that could have been. One thing I liked about it is that it suggests a Spike whose arc took a rather different, even oppositional turn, with a Willow whose increasing dangerousness becomes even more obvious.


Angels With Dirty Faces by tabaqui - Adult – "Sam/Dean, Spike/Xander, drinking and swearing and killing of things. Good times!" An SPN crossover that doesn't forget the humor.

Paternity Suit - by shapinglight - Adult - A pregnant Darla just raises the stakes in what she'll do for survival and revenge, and she's always thought Spike was an easy mark. Nasty surprises for all involved make this a wonderful twist on canon.

Sock Puppet by shadowscast read by via_ostiense. This terrific Spike/Xander tale has mystery, a believable and sympathetic OC, and, of course, an apocalypse in the making, and now you can listen to it anywhere!

Broken by astartexx - Worksafe – One of my favorite Buffyverse vids this past year, this is a great look at the Xander and Willow relationship, something I've rarely seen in vids. There were a lot of wonderful moments during the years in how they support one another over and over again.
